The following code example creates several pairs of Decimal values and calculates their products with the Multiplication operator.


Module Example
   Const dataFmt As String = "{0,-38}{1,31}"

   Sub ShowDecimalProQuoRem(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, _
                            ByVal Left As Decimal, ByVal Right As Decimal)
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(dataFmt, "Decimal Left", Left) & vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(dataFmt, "Decimal Right", Right) & vbCrLf

      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(dataFmt, _
          "Decimal.op_Multiply( Left, Right )", _
          Decimal.op_Multiply(Left, Right)) & vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(dataFmt, _
          "Decimal.op_Division( Left, Right )", _
          Decimal.op_Division(Left, Right)) & vbCrLf
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(dataFmt, _
          "Decimal.op_Modulus( Left, Right )", _
          Decimal.op_Modulus(Left, Right)) & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
   End Sub

   Public Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      ' Create pairs of Decimal objects.
      ShowDecimalProQuoRem(outputBlock, 1000D, 7D)
      ShowDecimalProQuoRem(outputBlock, -1000D, 7D)
      ShowDecimalProQuoRem(outputBlock,  _
          New Decimal(1230000000, 0, 0, False, 7), _
          0.00123D)
      ShowDecimalProQuoRem(outputBlock, 12345678900000000D, _

      ShowDecimalProQuoRem(outputBlock, 123456789.0123456789D, _
          123456789.1123456789D)
